My name is Alex, I'm 26 and I was diagnosed with bipolar disease with psychotic episodes in February 2016. Although I believe I've been having problems since a very long time. I'm supervised by my doctor and I'm taking olanzpine. I've been hospitalised on and off. I tried to conote a suicide tow months ago.
I feel ashamed of myself but I've decided I'll try my best and first accept my state in order to get better.

Hi Alex, and welcome to the community.
Sorry to hear that you've had such a rough time of late. Good on you for finding us to talk about how you're feeling and what you're going through. It is a lovely group here and there are plenty of people more than willing to talk.
I think you hit the nail on the head there with accepting your affliction - there is no guilt or shame in acknowledging that one is unwell, be it physical or mental. It is something I struggled with for a long time so I can certainly relate to that.
Thank you, it is very important to me to have a real person respond. I will get better because i want it so badly. There is plenty of work ahead of me, but im ready for the challenge. As they said in one silly series: Challenge accepted
